Professor Ronda Callister had to compete to become one of just eight presenters at the first ever TEDxUSU event, held in November. She used her requisite “18 minutes of innovative ideas” to describe the powerful, world-changing effects that would likely ensue from enabling women to become full contributors to human well-being and progress.

The TED Talks organization moves some TED videos from YouTube to the official TED.com website, if the videos get a lot of “likes” or go “viral.” So there is now a push at Utah State to let people know about Professor Callister’s video in the hope that it will be chosen for that step. On the TED.com website it would gain worldwide exposure through that website’s vast audience.
